BRITS can expect to be battered by even more heavy rain as the Met Office issues yet another yellow weather warning.
It comes as the Environment Agency currently has 90 flood warnings in place and 217 alerts.
The weather forecaster’s warning covers South Wales and most parts of southwest England.
Affected areas in England include Cornwall, Devon and Dorset as well as Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Southampton and West Sussex.
It is in place from noon on Monday to midnight.
While in Wales, Cardiff, Swansea and Newport are due to be affected.

The forecaster predicts as much as 30mm of rain to fall in some areas.
The Met Office said: “Bands of rain and heavy showers will move east across southern parts of England and Wales during Monday afternoon and evening.”
It added: “10-15mm of rain is likely fairly widely with 20-30mm in some places exposed to the strong south to southeasterly winds.”
As part of the warning, drivers can expect longer journey times due to spray and flooding on roads.
Bus and train journeys are also likely to take longer and some homes and businesses could be flooded.
It also warned that there could be “some interruption” to power supplies.
The Environment Agency has 90 flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected, which are mainly for southwest England, eastern parts and the West Midlands.
There are also 217 flood alerts, which means flooding is possible.
Rain has fallen every day of 2026 so far in southwest England and South Wales, according to the Met Office.
Both areas have seen 50 percent more rainfall than average.
Sarah Cook, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, said: “Our thoughts are with all those affected by the ongoing impacts of Storm Chandra, including those whose homes and businesses have sadly been flooded.
“Significant ongoing groundwater flooding impacts remain probable in parts of Dorset and Wiltshire, with minor impacts probable for parts of Hampshire for the next five days, and West Sussex from Saturday.
“Environment Agency teams are out on the ground, to reduce the impact of flooding and support those communities affected.
“We urge people not to drive through flood water – it is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car.”
Looking further ahead into the working week, conditions are expected to remain unsettled and many areas will see yet more rain and showers.
The worst hit areas are likely to be eastern Scotland, southwest England and possibly Northern Ireland.
Temperatures are predicted to drop in the north from mid-week and some snow is possible.
